Glacier Peak Backpacking: Day 1

The first photo is the view from near my camp on Cloudy Pass. Today has been incredible but tough. Hiked 20 miles with 6400’ elevation gain. This is not like the PCT, it’s rough trails that go straight up for hours. But i’m so happy, I wanted an epic long weekend and Glacier Peak Wilderness is providing that in spades so far.

@andrewbriscoe congratulations, that is a massive effort in a day
@elperronegro Thank you! And that was after arriving at the trailhead at 10 PM and sleeping for 4 hours. I slept very good after that.
